price level

USD/JPY:

After testing the target support at 145.90, the USD/JPY pair has been rising for two days. The price may reach the price channel line at 147.80, but it's unlikely to break above it and reach the target level of 148.50. The lack of divergence is still a hindrance to the pair's growth, and there's a good chance that the US dollar will strengthen after tonight's US inflation report.

 

 

Given these conditions, the price could test the support at 145.90, supported by the MACD indicator line, and only then will it be able to continue rising if the yen considers this plan. However, if the price settles below 145.90, it will continue to fall towards 144.73.

A decline will become relevant if the price consistently stays below the 1.2650 level. This condition could contribute to the continuation of a downward corrective movement.

Weak Economic Outlook for China: Challenges in Debt Restructuring and Growth Prospects

Weak Economic Outlook for China: Challenges in Debt Restructuring and Growth Prospects

ING Economics ING Economics 01.09.2023 09:44
The outlook is for further weakness in economic activity China now looks set to endure a period of sub-trend growth while it restructures this debt and alleviates some of the debt-service cost strains that are apparently weighing on some local government financing vehicles. Much of this off-balance sheet debt will need to be brought back on the balance sheet. Clarity over the scale of the existing problem will help determine the central government’s response, as at this stage, we suspect that even they don’t know. But lower interest rates for official debt and longer payment schedules seem very likely to dominate proceedings. Bucketloads of new debt, however, will not. We think that China's longer-term potential growth rate is around the 5% mark. But in the near term, even this may present a challenge for policymakers to achieve. We have downgraded our GDP forecast for 2023 to 4.5% as the previous main engine of growth – consumer spending – is faltering. Estimating how long this balance sheet adjustment will weigh on the economy is pure guesswork at this stage, but a wet-finger estimate of two years seems a reasonable starting point. We are not looking for 5% growth to be achieved again until 2025.   Chinese inflation is just unwinding earlier food price spikes   Inflation is low, but will recover Such weakness is likely to keep inflation very subdued in the meantime. Much of the recent decline in overall inflation is due to falls in food price inflation, which spiked up to more than 10% in July last year on the back of swine fever-affected pork prices. This is yet another reason for dismissing deflation claims. Indeed, if you create a conventional CPI index from China’s year-on-year inflation series, then it looks like the price level rose by about 0.3% month-on-month in each of the last two months. So temporary base effects are doing most of the damage to inflation currently, and by November these will have passed. In the meantime, though, further negative year-on-year CPI inflation figures are likely to keep the 'deflation' argument alive for a while longer.
